The pinion mechanism includes a pinion shaft and a pinion gear, and a bearing is provided on one end of the pinion gear. A differential mechanism is disposed in the differential case and is provided with a ring gear. A differential carrier sets the pinion mechanism onto the differential case to connect the pinion gear with the ring gear. The inner race of the bearing is fixed to the pinion gear and is removable from or separable from the outer race of the bearing.
